Can't download Adobe Reader (failure to initialize)

i am running Windows XP sp3 and every time i try to update the reader i get Failure to Initialize, i had the same problem with the Flash player until i found a off line flash player download and it worked, is there a off line download for the Adobe Reader?

Cummins, I got the same problem yesterday, and a good samaritan and wise vip member gave me the following link:
Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Hope this helps.

  • How can I download adobe reader 11

    I am running windows 7 and can't download adobe reader. The download stops about 75% of the way through the process and a message says  that Windows installer does not permit updating of managed advertised products. At least one feature of the product must be installed before applying the update. I had reader installed but uninstalled it because I could not print documents. Every sense I uninstalled it I have not been able to install it again.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.

    I can't download Adobe Reader in my Mac OS X 20.9.4.
    I have tried everything. I used Safari and Fire Fox, have enabled Java Script,
    and I have even tried all options suggested via helps.adobe.com and
    nothing seems to work.
    Please, help! Thanks!

    You can try using the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    If that doesn't work, please explain in detail what happens when you try to download Reader.
    And I hope you meant OS X 10.9.4...

    How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

  • Can't download adobe reader 9

    I have a new computer with Windows Vista and I can't download Adobe Reader. Whenever I click download it says I have a shortcut on my desktop to resume download and whenever I try to resume download from that shortcut it just closes the window.
    any suggestions?

    I don't think the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility can do anything in this case. Download the full Adobe Reader 9 installer from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe then install it.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?

    Hi,
    I have some forms that I can fill in and save with Adobe Reader 6.0. Some of our computers have Adobe Reader 8.0 and these same forms can be filled in but not saved.
    Everytime I supposedly download Adobe Reader 6.0. . . Adobe Reader 8.0 downloads.
    How can I download Adobe Reader 6.0?
    The computers are newer and are running Windows XP.
    Thanks!!!

    If you cannot save the forms with Reader 8, you cannot do it with Reader
    6. Perhaps you had Acrobat 6 which is a commercial product as opposed to
    Reader which is free.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader for a friend who has dialup and can't spend 500 hours doing it?

    We used to be able to download Adobe Reader. Not any more. Now we can only download a file that does the real downloading. If I want to download a PDF reader that a friend on dialup can install, I need to download something besides Adobe.

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader to my external 1Tb hard drive to use on a desk top that is not connected to the internet for security purposes. how can I choose which drive to save the download to?

    I have the Windows link handy, ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    For Mac (I haven't tested it), but the following link should work: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/10.x/10.1.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1010_en_US.dmg

  • I can't download Adobe Reader or Flash on my HP TouchSmart 520 PC

    Help!  I have ask an IT support through Geek Squad and they couldn't figure it why i can download Adobe Reader and Flash

    I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.
    I'll put this posting in the flash community so the experts there can help you.
    We also have many other forums relating to other Adobe products

  • Can I download adobe reader files?

    Can I download adobe files now?

    Have you downloaded the current version of Adobe Reader? You can do so from the App Store on your iPad or iPhone. When you open Reader, the Help file will explain how to "download" PDF files, which is what Reader can display.

  • Can't download Adobe Reader or FlashPlayer

    I have been trying to download Adobe Reader and Flash Player and keep getting a ‘UI_Installer’ dialogue saying ‘Only a single instance of this application can run’. I have tried different download sites and different browsers but just get the same. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I have had previous versions installed on my computer but have uninstalled and can't find any trace of them now.

    This is not the Reader forum. In any case, after you uninstall you need to delete the folder where the package was installed and also run a registry cleaner like the MS Install Cleanup (if you can find a copy since MS removed it) or CCleaner. You may still have a problem, but that is the first action to try.

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using  the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Then, download the Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and perform a clean install.
